Polyamory on Tumblr - another name for cuckoldry

[Brandobaris]

From what I've read and seen. Polyamory doesn't really seem to work when you think about it. Someone will always be the lesser in the relationship no matter which way you slice it.

As far as I'm concerned, it's simply a way to openly date multiple people long term and have them available for attention, whenever they want. For people unwilling to commit, who want their cake and eat it too, for people unwilling to take the emotional hit of breaking up, for people who want to have sex on tap nearby . Just Narcissistic Emotional Wusses really.

The odds are against even two people sustaining a long-term permanent relationship, like marriage is supposed to be. Every person added to this doesn't just multiply the odds of failure, they make it exponential. Three people might possibly do it. Four people would be a miracle.

Once you get into shit where you need a fucking Venn diagram and circles and arrows and shit just to describe the relationships it is a near 100% pure clusterfuck and someone's getting raped.

I honestly can't think of one legitimate reason for practicing 'polyamory'. It always seems like the people who are into it just want an excuse to not have to commit their time to one person and, God forbid, be faithful to them.

Spoiler: Slight power leveling

When I was in Highschool a friend of mine who we'll call 'S' had a crush on this guy (girl because s/he was trans) who was also polyamorous who will henceforth be known as T. Now, I had known T for quite a long time and I knew that they were terrible towards anyone they were together with, and their polyamorous group consisted of several of the school's resident tumblrinas (there was even a huge scandal about T posting noods of himself on his Tumblr while he was still underage at one of his girlfriends' suggestion. S wanted to try and work it out with T and compromise when it came to having an open relationship. Thankfully, S wised up to T's bullshit and dumped his/her ass after T chimped out on him because he was "a fake LGBT hating shitlord!"

This shit is happening in highschools now?

Well it actually explains all those filmed classroom sex orgies I keep hearing about

Yeah high school relationships aren't complicated enough as it is apparently

 

[Womacker]

These sorts of things let elderly super religious people point and say "See? I told you this would happen!"


Heck, not even the super religious at this point.

I don't know if one could classify it as TRUE and HONEST polyamory. It seemed more like a circlejerk group of 35 edgy 66.34 me kids who were pretty much the outcasts of the outcasts.

These kinds of people get off on drama was always my impression, so them liking dramatic, complex, and volatile relationships seems pretty logical to me.

They'd have a point too, which is probably the funniest (see: sad) thing about it.

By random chance, I think I've been personally acquainted with more poly practitioners than the average person has.

So far as I can tell, every criticism of them being emotionally immature narcissists who can't care enough about other people enough to actually maintain a complex relationship for long is true to a T.

If you believe privilege is a thing, go ahead and throw that in there too, because every one I've known was a spoiled baby living on mommy and daddy's continual handouts - they only have time for such self-absorbed soul searching because they stand on the backs of other people who make sure they don't have to worry about baser material needs like normal people do.

This thread's been ded for awhile.

So has anybody taken notice of the poly trend sprouting around DeviantART's furry community? Normally this is expected of furries in general, but I've noticed that a lot of them:
-are under the age of 20
-have 3+ partners...and counting
-have issues staying in longterm, stable relationships
-typically terrible people to be around (scam/con artists, false rape allegations, victim mentality, etc)
-constantly surround themselves with like-minded friends (or fuckbuddies? we'll never know)
-cycle through people (friends and partners alike) like worn clothes ^
-always have some form of an inflated ego, or give off narcissistic vibes

They usually, practically always, end in a giant public meltdown where at least one of them runs off to some big Tumblr "dramablog" to spew about how all of their 5 former partners are apparently "abusers" or some shit in an attempt to slander/ruin their reputation or even in some cases, persuade others to dox them. And it works. Mob mentality is a scary thing, especially when you consider just how stupid the vast majority of that website is.
Said blogs are followed by most drama-whoring tartlets and various others (quite literally, thousands).

I don't use the cancerous domain or browse those blogs (can link some of them) but I do have a little dump of screenshots some distant friends have sent me over the course of the last few months or so of these people, if any of you are curious.

Fukkin' post 'em if you got 'em.

Are these supposed to be the "two beautiful women"?

 

[friedshrimp]

Wow I struggle enough with maintaining one relationship how do these fucks do it with 7 or 8 people...Oh wait that's right, they don't. They just end up in tears.

They aren't all proper relationships. They vary from "person who is basically my boy/girlfriend" to "person I fuck when I'm extra horny" to "person I fuck but also have conversations with" to "person I like to cuddle".

The way I usually see normal people fall into polyamory is one of them (who is way more attractive/manipulative) wants to fuck around, so they suggest opening the relationship. Because the other side doesn't want to lose their boyfriend or girlfriend they agree and pretend like everything's okay. It's pretty sad. A good portion of r/relationships is this shit.

 

[OwO What's This?]

I used to have a friend that claimed to by polyamorous. She'd always tell me all this mumbo jumbo about room in her heart for everyone and what have you. She was in a relationship with about 3 people, I think, and everything was stable. I was impressed, because I didn't think these things actually worked.

Well, that didn't last long - everything changed when that number rose to 4, and because this new boyfriend was all shiny and new to her, she spent most of her time with him and would evade the others until someone caught her in a lie about what she'd been up to and the entire thing imploded spectacularly. And once the relationship was over, the stories of the ways she had manipulated them just kept pouring in, not just from her exes, but from their friends as well.

It was sad to see it happen because there's a part of me that loves the idea, but I don't know how on earth you'd be able to find time for everyone. I imagine most people are just going to end up getting played. The only ways I see this working are two couples getting together, or there being a very agreeable, nonthreatening third wheel both other people are super into. And, most importantly, I think it has to happen by accident, if you get what I'm saying. Constantly seeking to 'expand' your boyfriend/girlfriend list is not healthy behavior.

The idea you could have a successful relationship(s?) in the ways and quantities these blogs are boasting is ludicrous to me. The polyamory Kool-Aid must be some really potent stuff.

Those comics look like they were drawn by someone with a really broken hand.

Has a certain "je ne sais quoi" broken hand-foot/A Game of Fools feel.

As like most threads this thread is not about necessarily polyamory, its about the crazy people behind it.

basically their view is that monogamy is a social construct. which technically everything is a social construct. going to the dentist is a social construct, but that doesn't mean something is wrong with it or that it needs to be abolished.

in my humble opinion it seems that most of these people are just hormonal teens who just cant get enough dick to satisfy themselves. but I'm not invalidating polyamory. i don't understand it, but its none of my business what people want to do with their relationships. as long as i don't see a nasty 5some in the snacks isle at wall mart, I'm cool. but these people are trying to say that monogamy is unhealthy, not natural, and should be the minority. they also think that every person is polyamorous but they are hiding it because of society.

at this point i havent found anything about marriage... but i predict that within the next year or two, it will become a big topic in politics as people try to legalize it.

"its okay to be anti cheating"

does that imply that people are pro cheating?

this op isnt really finished and i will edit it soon.

All the people I personally know who claim to be poly fall into two categories.

1. Mentally ill women whose relationships all fell apart due to infidelity by their partners (lol wut?)
2. Women who are social signalling about that time they had an experiment in college and live as straight, cis women who are married to straight cis white males.

 

[Mr. Burgers]

Any time I've seen someone "polyamorous" on a dating site they've been a typical boring fat white girl.

Neutral Milk Hotel is their favorite.
